"পারফরমেন্স আর্ট" কিন্তু "পারফরমিং আর্ট" (নাচ, নাটক, গান) নয়! বরং ভিস্যুয়াল আর্ট-এর ধারায় জন্ম নেওয়া এক শৈল্পিক অভিব্যক্তি, যেখানে শিল্পীর শরীরই হয়ে ওঠে তার মাধ্যম। সে সময়, স্থান আর তাৎক্ষণিক অভিজ্ঞতার মিশ্রণে সরাসরি দর্শকের সঙ্গে যোগাযোগ ঘটায়।
🌟 Kolkata International Performance Art Festival 2017 (kipaf17)-এ অংশগ্রহণ করেছিলেন শিল্পী সুন্দর লামা-র মতো প্রতিভাবান শিল্পীরা। তাঁর জীবন্ত শিল্পের অনন্য মুহূর্ত দেখতে মিস করবেন না।
🖌️ শিল্পের সীমানা ভাঙার এই যাত্রায় যোগ দিন।
